Deleting ACIDs

The DELETE function purges the specified ACID from the CA Top Secret Security File. For example, the following deletes the ACID USER999:

TSS DELETE(USER999)

All authorizations granted to USER999 are automatically revoked and all resources on USER999 are automatically freed.

Note the following restrictions regarding the use of this function:

To issue this function, the administrator must have ACID(CREATE) authority and an administrative scope that includes the ACID.
If the ACID still owns resources that have been PERMITted to other users, it cannot be deleted.
If the ACID is still PERMITted to other ACIDs, it cannot be deleted.
A zonal, divisional, departmental, or profile ACID that still has other ACIDs linked to it cannot be deleted.
The ALL and AUDIT Records, as well as the MSCA’s ACID, can never be deleted.
